Dear All,
I'm Writing an Application in which a Servlet is used to Access a Stateful Session 
Bean , which in turn accesses multiple Entity beans.The Stateful Session Bean manages 
the workflow and maintains the Client State .

Here in this Application we are supposed to add items to a shopping cart .

But as a Servlet State is not maintained across across multiple requests from a Client 
 , what is the use of Stateful Session Bean?
I can maintain the Client Session state in a Servlet by a Cookie , and the shopping 
Cart contents in a temporary Database on the Server associated with the Client Session 
state.

But then the Stateful Session Bean has no use here . Because each time the Servlet has 
to create a new instance of the session bean, as each time a new Instance of the 
Servlet will be invoked for each request from the Client.So am I Better off using 
stateless Session Bean instead of Stateful Session Bean.Or is there any other 
alternative to this solution or am I wrong somewhere.

Thanks for Reading,
Parikshit
